In 1945, the day after liberation, Soviet soldiers in control of
the Katowice camp in Poland asked Primo Levi and his fellow captive
Leonardo De Benedetti to compile a detailed report on the sanitary
conditions in Auschwitz. The result was 'Auschwitz Report', an
extraordinary testimony and one of the first accounts of the
extermination camps ever written. The report, published in a
scientific journal in 1946, marked the beginnings of Levi's
life-long work as writer, analyst and witness. In the subsequent
four decades, Levi never ceased to recount his experiences in
Auschwitz in a wide variety of texts, many of which are assembled
together here for the first time. From early research into the fate
of his companions to the deposition written for Eichmann's trial,
from the 'letter to the daughter of a fascist who wants to know the
truth' to newspaper and magazine articles, Auschwitz Testimonies is
a rich mosaic of memories and critical reflections of great
historic and human value. Underpinned by his characteristically
clear language, rigorous method, and deep psychological insight,
this collection of testimonies, reports and analyses reaffirms
Primo Levi's position as one of the most important chroniclers of
the Holocaust. It will find a wide readership, both among the many
readers of Levi's work and among all those who wish to understand
one of the greatest human tragedies of all time.
